Nestled in woodland just a few miles inland from the wonderfully rugged and sandy coast of the Pembrokeshire National Park, this pretty cluster of whitewashed stone and Welsh slate cottages are a haven of family-friendly tranquillity. The handy list of nursery kit, play area and clutch of friendly farm animals makes them especially well suited to families with little ones, whilst theres a warm welcome for the family pet too.
The 32-acre estate is home to just five cottages so, even when fully booked, often the only time you'll catch sight of other guests is during one of the regular animal feeding and egg collecting sessions. These have toddlers squealing with delight as they experience real life 'Old MacDonald's farm' and are invited to collect eggs or hand feed the friendly brood of chickens, pigs, donkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs. Apart from that, Fron Fawr is best described as a fabulously tranquil slice of rural life, only a short drive from the coast, and the perfect place to let little ones roam free.
Accommodation Overview
Madog is one of the estate's smaller cottages and is able to accommodate up to five guests in three bedrooms which are all upstairs. The bedrooms comprise: a king-size bedroom with a contemporary wash-basin, a single bedroom and a bunkbed* room.
Downstairs is a fully tiled bathroom with rainfall shower over bath and underfloor heating, along with the open plan sitting room and dining/breakfast kitchen. The kitchen has a full size electric oven/grill with ceramic hob, microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and breakfast bar. The sitting area has a leather sofas, flat screen LCD TV with Freeview Channels, DVD player and patio doors leading out onto the private patio with garden furniture and views over the main lawns.
Please note that the bunk beds are 2ft 6 wide – loved by children and sturdy enough for ‘young at heart’ adults, if a little cosy!
Up to two pets welcome, each at £25 per week.
The cottages are nestled in 48 acres of grounds around four miles from the village of Boncath in unspoilt North Pembrokeshire.
The Nag's Head in Abercych (2.5miles away) has a great reputation for good food and ale, as well as having a lovely outdoor play area for kids.
Newcastle Emlyn which has a good selection of shops, banks, bistros, cafes, delis and a beauty salon offering a range of treatments is around five miles from the cottages. Some of the region's best restaurants are also fairly close to the cottages. The Harbourmaster at Aberaeron, Llys Meddyg in nearby Newport, and the Penrhiwllan gastro-pub, are all well worth arranging babysitting for.
A little further afield at around 45mins drive, Folly Farm is a brilliant wet weather day out thanks to its petting farm, tractor tours, indoor Victorian fun fair, soft play and huge adventure play zone, most of which are under cover. For boutique shopping, art galleries and ceramic painting cafe, visit the pretty town of Narbeth... try to resist the chocolate factory tours nearby!

We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Fron Fawr as a new family with an eight month old baby. The little man loved feeding the farm animals, splashing in the pool and his time with Rachel and the team in Children's Club, all a short drive over at Clydey Cottages. We couldn't have asked for a better break to keep him entertained and give Mum and Dad a chance to steal a few hours to ourselves.
We loved our stay at Fron Fawr, the accommodation offers everything you need and it's a beautiful spot. The play areas kept our toddler happy too! Although Clydey is a bit of a drive away we still made use of the swimming pool and kids club for a bit of relaxation. We were also able to arrange for one of the staff to baby sit for us one night. Couldn't ask for more really!
